That Surplus.

Were one to believe the absurd state
ments of the Democratic free trade press,
it would be supposed that the surplus is
piling up in the Treasury at the rate OF ten
milliol dollars q month, or even more. 1t
may be wise, at this juncture, to allow ON
official OF the present administration-no
less person tran the Secretary OF the
Treasury-to define what the surplus really
is, and how fast it Is accommodating. In his
annual report, Mr.. Fairchild says that the
surplus revenue is the money which annu-
ally remains in the Treasury Of the United
Sta Cd after affairs of this department
have cole ted the taxes Ia d on the people
by the laws of Congress, and have paid all
the expenses and obligations OF the Gov
ernmcnt. except principal CT the interest
bearing debt
This surplus he puts OF S103. All ,097. 90
for the last, and at 1000, 600 for the
current fiscal year. The requirements OF
the sinking fund. however, dis, osed of
nearly $4,000, 900 Of this surplus in each
year, leaving the amount about So 200, 600
last year and $65, 00O. 900 the present year.
We are justified in making this deduction,
because the Secretary explicitly says that
he is not disposed to recommend the repeal
of the sinkin fund requirements. Besides
the question of the surplus revenue, there
is the question of the surplus money in the
Treasury, which the Secretary states at
$55, 25S, TOLLS.
He suggests the wisdom of so diminish
ing taxation as to reduce the annual reve-
nues for some years to come TO point be-
low the ANIMAL appropriations. In the
light of this suggestion, it is apparent how
great the reductions in the tariff which the
sdministrat on contemplates must be. It
is now pretty generally conceded that such
reductions as those contained in the Nor
ri on bill would increase rather than di-
minish the revenues. The chief omis ion
of the Secretary. like that of the Presi-
dent. is his failure to explain how the
enormous reductions in customs duties
which he recommends are to be made with

WHILE workmen were excavating the

ACCORDING to Chinese computation.
there are now 100000 Chinese in the
United States, says San Francisco
paper. The fact that they are to be
found in every part of the country in
dicates that the estimate is not I
high. According to the census, the total
number in the United States in 1880
was l05, 719. But there came in 1881
IL, 500, and in 1882, under the pros
pect OF restriction, 39,579, making O
total OF 157. 173 up to the date of the
restriction act. The death rate among
these people by reason of their defiance
of the laws of sanitation, wherever
the are located, is always much higher
than among our own people, especially
when the fact that they are all mostly
adults, without the proper proportion
of young and old among them, is taken
into consideration. The deaths that
have taken place since the date stated
must at least have been 30. 900, leaving
on hand, say, $4,000 or 100000. But
the number in the country is supposed
to be at least 60, 600 more.

HOLDEN, Mo-, Feb. 2.-Considera-
BILE excitement exists in our city over
the discovery of natural gas at a
point only four miles west Of the city,
upon the farm of Mr.. Frary. This
gas was discovered at a depth of
only 100 feet, but they have contin-
ued to bore deeper until the drill
now shows depth of 200 feet. AS
the drill has descended the pressure
of the gas vein has increased until
now it shows quite force. 1t is the
belief of our citizens that gas has
been discovered in sufficient quaint
ties, if pipei to town, distance OF
four miles, to heat and light the city.
write you these facts concerning
the discovery of gas on account Of
the great interest your city is taking
in it at this time. If this gas is in
sufficient quantity there is bonanza
for some company who will take uE
this find and conduct it to the city
for heating and illuminating purpo
ses, as we have population of about
1000, and vote tomorrow on S
franchise for water-works.

A BIG BLAZE


The fire department was called out
last Friday morning to put out big
fire in the "Sparks property" in
South Mexico, occupied by DR.. J. L.
Gartrell and family. With the mer-
curry at zero, and run Of nearly q
mile, the company did excellent work,
as within a very short time, heavy
stream was turned on the building.
On account of the wind being very
high and the hose difficult to manage,
it was a hard matter to get the fire
under control. Two OF DIR. Gar
trelrs little boys, who were in one of
the upper rooms, came very near be-
ing suffocated, so rapidly did the fire
gain headway, but timely action on
tie part of the Doctor, saved them.
The insurance on the household
goods, most Of which were burned,
was $l,250; loss, 81, 500, with Kilgore
& Howell. The building was insur-
ed with Lakenau & Barnes for 81, 5000.
When the alarm was sounded, num-
ber of the fremen were at the Rails
trial in the Circuit Court room, court
not having yet adjourned. Very few
towns in the State can boast of 80
good fire company as Mexico.
